    Wire identification to alternator and from glow plug harness

    I need help identifying some wires that were hooked up to the alternator in a …not factory way, as I’m rewiring a new 1 wire alternator in. I just want to know what the wires do essentially and where they were supposed to go. - from the firewall there is a loom with a red, yellow, green with...

    to grease or not to grease, that is the question

    Thank you everyone for the helpful info and suggestions. Ill throw it in there tomorrow with a dab of grease. The funny thing about all of this is, when i opened up the original transfer case, there was nylon shavings everywhere, and the metal on the fork was worn down, and some plastic bushings...

    to grease or not to grease, that is the question

    My transfercase jacked up on me a week ago, so I have another to throw back in, and yes its the correct one. The only question is, do I grease the output shaft from my tranny to go into the tc? and if so, what lube do you guys recommend? also, a friend told me not to worry about getting a gasket...

    Wiring help!

    I was trying to hook up a radio today. The person who had the truck before me had the radio wiring hacked up with no original connectors. In the process of connecting the new wires , I accidently left the hot wire (green with yellow stripe) unattended for a split second and it found bare metal...

    took a look on the case. It says c-13683 np (new Process) model 208F 261 ratio and its from syracuse new york. Is this still the Borg Warner 1345?

    At any rate, what transfer cases will mate up? It's an 85 and I believe all stock.

    C6 Grinding in 3rd

    Rebuild it because it pops out of gear? Has anyone experienced this before and diagnosed the actual problem without just switching cases? I had no idea the transfer case had its own oil pump to circulate the fluid...

    C6 Grinding in 3rd

    I worked up the balls to drive it with one foot on the transfer case lever keeping pressure against it in 2h. It came out of gear one time but I just shoved my foot a little harder and it was fine. What causes the transfer case to keep popping out of gear like this? This sound familiar to anyone...

    C6 Grinding in 3rd

    Update. Got the tc and tranny drained and refilled. Went for a drive and boom, the grinding and the truck slowly came to a stop while it kept grinding. I tried shifting it to park, but the grinding got worse, same with 2nd and first. So I moved the transfer case to neutral and the sound went...

    C6 Grinding in 3rd

    Theres multiple large holes in the flex plate, but I don't know which one is the drain. I don't want to take off one of the actual bolts that holds the flex plate on. Any way to know which one is the right one? any pictureS?

    C6 Grinding in 3rd

    Dropped the pan today. couldn't really find any shiny particles of metal, but I did find a few pieces of crap that looked like grinded up stone? maybe it was something made out of pot metal? Either way, the oil was still in good shape, so i replaced the screen with a new one, and bolted it up...

    C6 Grinding in 3rd

    Its 4wd, but that doesn't really make sense to me. if it was the transfer case, wouldn't it only be doing it when in 4wd, and no matter what gear I'm in? Either way, this is sounding like its going blow. Im assuming the first and initial grind is when a piece of something broke loose somewhere...

    C6 Grinding in 3rd

    So the problems right in the title. I have a 1985 f250 with the 6.9 idi and C6. Most of the past trucks Ive owned with C6's have been bullet proof, but this is the first one STARTING to give me grief. I noticed when I was driving home the other day, while in third and final gear, it made a...

    Help!!! Random cut wires

    Picked up a diesel cluster from an 86 with a tach. Anyone know if the factory harness from an 85 accommodates the tach already, or will I have to wire it up?

    Help!!! Random cut wires

    Apparently the axles are off of an 87 f250. He assured me they'll fit my stock wheels. I called up a shop to see how much they would charge to swap it all since I don't have a place to do the work... I almost crapped myself when he told me around 900? I think I'll be able swing doing the rear...

    Help!!! Random cut wires

    My truck is a 1985. The axles I bought look Identical to the ones I have on it currently, its just the hubs are much larger in the front. He hooked me up with the brake calipers and everything else, so I'm not really worried about that.

    Help!!! Random cut wires

    one other thing, the guy said I could add a leaf to the front and the rear and pretty much gain almost 2 inches? does anyone have a write up on this, seeing as how Ill be doing the axles soon, I might as well gain another two inches to fit some 35's to deal with that horrible highway speed.

    Help!!! Random cut wires

    update: went to the junkyard and found the part, but the connection was broke, so i soldered it, and it runs like a champ!!!....minus the leaky return line from the injector. I also bypassed the troublesome water seperator, and haven't had any problems with starting it up. ALSO, I just purchased...

    Help!!! Random cut wires

    The problem is as soon as i try to drive it, it revs out of control, and the plunger gets stuck out. I'm confused because it was working correctly just a couple days ago? are these things known to just get stuck open? I dont know if adjusting it down will make i work correctly, but Ill try and...
